Default values for Sea_Level_Rise_Estimator.py

-

 Here are some default values you can use for your sea level rise program:

  • Average Global Temperature Increase: 2°C (This represents a possible future scenario based on current trends)
  • Thermal Expansion Rate: 2 x 10^-5 /°C (This is a commonly cited average value)
  • Current Global Sea Level: 136 meters (This is an approximation of the average sea level relative to an arbitrary reference point)

Here's a breakdown of the sources for these values:

  • Temperature Increase: The 2°C value represents a potential future scenario based on medium emissions projections from the IPCC. You can find more information in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar6/.
  • Thermal Expansion Rate: 2 x 10^-5 /°C is a common estimate used in simplified models. Resources like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) discuss ocean heat content, which is related to thermal expansion https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/global-ocean-heat-content/.
  • Current Sea Level: 136 meters is an approximation of the average global sea level relative to an arbitrary reference point. This value can vary depending on the data source and reference point used.

Additional Considerations:

  • You can modify these values based on your specific goals or the user's preferences.
  • It's a good practice to include a disclaimer in your program acknowledging that these are estimates and the actual values might differ.
  • Consider allowing users to input their own values for these parameters if they have access to more specific data.

By using these default values and allowing for user input, you can create a program that provides a flexible and informative experience for users interested in understanding the potential impact of climate change on sea level.

This speech was written by Mohit, it was delivered on the occasion of National Youth Day at FIS (Manasa).     Speech Swami Vivekananda, in his childhood he was called Naren, was born on January 12, 1863 in Kolkata. His father, Vishwanath Datta, was an advocate in the High Court of Kolkata. Vishwanath had a deep interest in music and he thought of it as the source of much innocent pleasure. He used to read Bible and recite poems of Persian poet Hafiz with great joy. Naren's mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was extraordinarily intelligent and it was her habit to study Sanskrit scriptures the Ramayan and the Mahabharata.     When Naren was studying in sixth class of Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's Institution, he was told that he would have to study English. He was not willing to do so. It was a foreign language, he said, so why should he learn it? The teachers persisted and Naren went home crying to his parents and there his father made him aware about the Joy of Learni...

How did Bhagat Singh join HSRA? (DeepSeek)

 Bhagat Singh's association with the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) was a pivotal chapter in India's freedom struggle. Here's a detailed account of his journey into the organization: --- Early Influences and Political Awakening 1. Family Background:      Bhagat Singh was born into a family deeply involved in the independence movement. His father, Kishan Singh, and uncle, Ajit Singh, were active revolutionaries, exposing him to nationalist ideas from a young age. 2. Impact of Jallianwala Bagh (1919):      The massacre at Jallianwala Bagh in 1919, when Bhagat Singh was 12, radicalized him. He openly defied British authorities by burning textbooks and symbols of colonial rule. 3. Rejection of Non-Violence:      Disillusioned by the slow progress of the Indian National Congress' non-violent methods, Bhagat Singh gravitated toward revolutionary ideologies. He famously said, *"Bombs and pistols do not make a r...

अज्ञेय जी कहते हैं ‘मेरा सच्चा पाठक वही है, जो मेरा लिखा हुआ समझे और उसके अनुसार कर्म करे।’ शेखर को लगता, उसके शरीर में कोई परिवर्तन हो रहा है। उसे लगता, वह बीमार है; उसे लगता, उसमें बहुत शक्ति आ गयी है; और वह, अपनी दुम का पीछा करते हुए कुत्ते की तरह, अपने ही आसपास चक्कर काटकर रह जाता...      अपने शरीर की माँग वह नहीं समझता, लेकिन उसे लगता, यह माँग कुछ अनुचित हैै, कुछ पापमय है। और वह चाहता कि किसी तरह उसे दबा डाले, कुचल डाले, धूल में ऐसा मिला डाले कि उसका पता भी न लगे, चाहे शरीर ही उसके साथ क्यों न नष्ट हो जाय...      वह मन उस पर से हटाना चाहता। यह तो वह जानता नहीं था कि किस तरह से शरीर से मन हटाए, लेकिन कविता में रुचि थी, और इसलिए उसे आशा थी कि वह उसमें अपने को भुला सकेगा। वह हर समय, हर प्रकार की कविता पढ़ने लगा। उसने संस्कृत-कवि पढ़े, उसने उर्दू से अनुवाद पढ़े, उसने जो कवि उसकी पाठ्य-पुस्तकों में थे — Tennyson, Wordsworth, Shelley, Christina Rossetti, Scott — सब पूरे पढ़ डाले। फिर उसने वे कवि पढ़ने आरम्भ किये, जो उसकी पुस्तक...
